Will this be spun into "Domestic Terrorism" or Gun Control rationale by the WH?

Bring your guns and come': Militiamen including Cliven Bundy's three sons take over Oregon federal building and call 'U.S. patriots' to arms in protest at pending imprisonment of two ranchers

Militia members claimed to have as many as 150 supporters with them at the Malheur National Wildlife refuge building in Princeton, Oregon

The group said they were not looking to hurt anyone, they would not rule out violence if police tried to remove them

The occupation came shortly after a few hundred marchers paraded through Burns, Oregon

The marchers were protesting the prosecution of father and son Harney County ranchers Dwight Hammond Jr, 73, and Steven Hammond, 46

The Hammonds were ordered returned to prison by a federal court which ruled their original sentences for setting public fires were insufficient

The group is demanding that the Hammonds be released and that the federal government give up control of the Malheur National Forest

Occupiers include Ammon and Ryan Bundy, sons of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a 2014 standoff over grazing rights

A group of militiamen on Saturday occupied the headquarters of a national wildlife refuge in Oregon in support of two brothers who are slated to report to prison on Monday on arson charges - and the protesters don't plan on leaving any time soon, saying it's 'kill or be killed' time.

Militia members claimed to have as many as 150 supporters with them at the Malheur National Wildlife refuge building in Princeton, which is federal property managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service that was closed for the holiday weekend.

They later rescinded the number and said they would not disclose how many people were in the building, because of 'operational security'. Local reporters have said that there only appears to be a dozen cars outside of the building.

'We're planning on staying here for years, absolutely,' Ammon Bundy, one of the occupiers, told the Oregonian via telephone. ‘This is not a decision we've made at the last minute.'

Ammon Bundy and his brother Ryan, who is another occupier, are the sons of of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a 2014 standoff with the government over grazing rights.

The occupation came shortly after 300 marchers paraded through Burns, Oregon, about 50 miles away, to protest at the prosecution of father and son Harney County ranchers Dwight Hammond Jr and Steven Hammond, who were ordered returned to prison by a federal court which ruled their original sentences were insufficient.

The group is demanding that the Hammonds be released and that the federal government give up control of the Malheur National Forest.

the government killed everybody at waco, men women and children..
why are these guys picking a fight they can't win?
look at the biker shootout in texas..most were killed by police snipers...whoops
"better make that look like they killed each other"..
these folk should organize, arm up, train, recruit and spread nation wide like the tentacles of the hydra

He added: 'One time [Harney County] were the wealthiest county, now they're the poorest, and we will reverse that in just a few years by freeing up their land and resources.

The protesters took over a federal wildlife refuge in a remote area near Burns, some 280 miles east of Portland, to protest the prosecution of a father and son facing jail time on an arson charge for burning 130 acres of land.
Prosecutors said the fire was set to hide poaching, but the ranchers, who face five years in prison, and the protesters supporting them say it was set to stop invasive plants.

Dwight Hammond, 73, and Steven Hammond, 46, said they lit the fires in 2001 and 2006 to reduce the growth of invasive plants and protect their property from wildfires.

The two were convicted of the arsons three years ago and served time — the father three months, the son one year.

But a judge ruled their terms were too short under federal law and ordered them back to prison for about four years each.

They are not terrorists....This oppressive, tyrannical government who really has no jurisdiction here - this is Hardy County's land,' he said.
He added: 'The Hammonds were not tried by a jury of their peers. There's an indictment with no signatures on it.

'This is a cruel and unusual punishment. But this federal government comes in here and says no, that's not enough, they need to do a minimum of five years.'

sooner or later they will be told to pack it up and move on
and if they don't then they'll get what they deserve

its not illegal to walk around with a gun if youre permitted. A bunch of people showing up at a federal building with guns is not domestic terrorism, its exercising your right to bear arms and your right to assembly.

If you believe this to be an act of domestic terrorism... you're an idiot.
